Schumacher appeal in a fortnight

Ralf Schumacher's appeal against the Stewards' Decision in Hockenheim will be heard by the FIA International Court of Appeal in around two weeks from now. The date of the hearing will be announced tomorrow but it is likely to be in the week leading up to the Hungarian GP, the race at which Schumacher will have to drop 10 places on the grid if he loses the appeal. Ralf was blamed by the stewards for causing an avoidable accident at the start of the German GP last weekend.
